Thankfully, this is NOT the knit cap being given away tonight at the Stadium.

Hyun-Jin Ryu (11-3, 2.99) vs. Matt Harvey (9-3, 2.09).

Whereas Monday night faced off newcomers and Wednesday night (Capuano vs. Gee) has two with losing records, tonight's matchup faces two strong arms. Ryu is in the mix for Rookie of the Year (though likely overshadowed by teammate Yasiel Puig); Harvey started this year's All-Star Game and is discussed (along with Clayton Kershaw) for the NL Cy Young Award. Can the Dodgers pull another rabbit out of their hat and get yet another unlikely win?

I will say, of all the games I've attended over the years, the Mets have possibly been the biggest pain in my ass. I've watched the Dodgers lose to the Padres a lot too, but I think I've seen them lose a higher percentage to the Mets. At least of games I've seen in person.

I have been making party all night: red bull n vodka (x2), Santa Fe Nut Brown Ale, Santa Fe Pale Ale and now Lancaster Strawberry Wheat (It's... OK). The sampler fridge has made for a fun Tuesday Brewsday
